At MIT Mr. Shuji Suzumori is pursuing a Master of Architecture with a thesis topic in textile formwork. And, at The School of Architecture & Art, Norwich University assistant professor Eleanor D'Aponte and her students have conducted two workshops exploring "Innovations in Fabric Formed Concrete". These workshops were held at and co-sponsored by Yestermorrow Design/Build School located in Warren, VT. They took place during the summers of 2009 and 2010.</fs></align> | |

His research interest in fabric formwork comes as a result of work he completed for his Master’s degree and his desire to see this unique method of forming concrete brought into mainstream construction practice.
